Last night I was driving my way home and decided to stop and get something to drink. Once I was back out on the interstate, I looked down at the dash only to see 3 of my indicator lights were on...the "Service Engine Soon" light, the "TCS Off" light and the "SLIP" light. Now why would all three of these lights come on at the same time? Has anyone seen this before?

Also of note if that the SLIP and TCS Off lights didn't come back on after my car had been shut off for a while, but the Service Engine light persists (or at least is did last night. The manual says steady on means a emissions thing that can turn off after "a few trips").

Oh...I did a search...but didn't come up with anything.

 

Anyone?

 

I have had this problem also. The VDC and Slip come on when I drive hard on turns and goes away when I turn the engine off I noticed this right after I had my new suspension put on. The Service light was a bad O2 sensor.

i've had the same problem a couple of times. it never effects the drivability, but it does make you concerned/annoyed. mine resets when i turn the car off and back on also, and it's never happened when i had the opportunity to check if it threw a dcs or not so i dunno what it is? obviously it's a slight glitch in the ecu but it seems totally random.

 

yeah mine does the same man, when I drive hard

 

just reset it mine did that once took it to dealership they couldn't find out what was wrong all they did was reset it and it was fine.

 

Go get the car scanned and see if there are any codes, if not your alright. Its a little hard for people to just sit on the computer and tell you why the lights came on, there are many reasons for them to come on, thats why they make scanners to go into the computer. Dealer or an autozone or something should be able to scan it.

+1. Any Check Engine Soon light ON should be recorded by OBDII.

 

Thanks for the advice, guys. I made an appointment yesterday to have the car looked at on Friday. Till then she's sitting in her parking space back home and I'm driving my old Volvo.

 

Ran into the same problem last week. The Slip, TCS Off and Service Engine Soon lights all came on at the same time. Rebooted, I mean restarted, the car and only the Service Engine Soon light stayed on.

Just got off the phone with the dealer and they told me some sensor needed to be replaced. Moral of the story - Z is uber fun to drive....

 

OK. Just got the car back from the dealer. They had to replace the throttle chamber and gasket. Not sure why they died after only 8200 miles, but dealer replaced them free under warranty. So no complaints there.

 

My '04 Z has the same kind of issues, but it's the VDC off, Slip and Brake light that come on?!?!?

That must be code for "I'm all ****ed up!" LOL

Great car otherwise, feels like I'm driving a new car every day.

 

This has happened to me twice lately too. I know the VDC is actually off because I was in the rain one time and the *** end was getting out from me on every turn. Like some of the other guys though, after I drove it for a while and turned it off to go do whatever I was doing and came back the lights were off and VDC etc were all back on.

 

Well...I got the car looked at and the dealer said it was just a false alarm. They reset the light and everything's run a-ok since. Guess it was just temporary insanity.

 

yeah mines does that when i get out of work at night and drive up this uphill same spot every nite.....hmmmm i know my o2 sensor is bad but cant find where the hell it is....anyone? if u can pleez tell me where the driver side or sensor is they said on the manifold...have the sensor but cant find where to replace it at...oh and sorry for invading ur thread...

 

I've had similar stuff to that happen but it was because of the MAF reacting to my damn JWT Popcharger.

 

yeah i was thinking that too it happened after i put the pop charger in like 2 weeks after u think the pop charger might of done something to make the reading off?i got it scanned at the dealership he said its the 02 sensor but they always tryin to get money out of me....damn nissan

 

there are two 02 sensors in the cats...go look underneath your car.
